Where do the most unbelievably gross, heart-warming, funny, and weird stories happen in San Francisco? On Muni, of course. Save the date for the next Muni Diaries Live on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 7 p.m. at the Elbo Room! For our tenth show, you’ll hear tales from comedian Nato Green and filmmaker H.P. Mendoza, and culture blogger and Bay Arean extraordinaire Beth Spotswood. And you’ll find out: who will finally beat the current Muni Haiku champion, James Nestor?

We’re also giving away a gift certificate to Tony’s Pizza Napoletana to one lucky audience storyteller, so get your stories ready!

If you’ve never been to one of our shows before, check out the recap of past shows to get a flavor of Muni Diaries Live. The photo above is from our reunion show with Anna Conda (who else can rock velvet gloves like she can?)

We’ll release the full lineup of the show soon, but for now, grab a ticket and invite your friends.

17 Choice Syllables About Muni From Anna Pulley

We saw one hell of a Muni Haiku Battle Saturday night between columnist Anna Pulley and writer James Nestor. Anna’s haikus were too good for you to miss, so here are her poems from the battle. There’s even a feisty title that digs at opponent James. I always find good trash talking totally irresistible, don’t you?

Muni Haikus from Anna Pulley:

Where else would you erupt into an impromptu Rice-a-Roni sing-along? At Muni Diaries Live, of course! This time we packed in a queercore band, a great lineup of storytellers, plus a rematch of the Muni Haiku Battle. Here’s how it all went down.

Queercore band Lucky Jesus jump-started the show with a cover of Berlin’s “The Metro,” rewritten to fit San Francisco’s own crazy transit.

A Kiss and Twirl on Stage at Muni Diaries Live

One comment

We were totally blown away earlier this month at Muni Diaries Live. And in case you weren’t able to make it, we wanted to share with you.

In January, Elyse sent us one of the sweetest diaries to date: Long story short, she left her wallet on the 33-Stanyan, and when she got it back, she also fell in love.

Fast-forward 10 months, and Mahsa the one-woman band/mime and Elyse delighted the audience at Muni Diaries, to put it mildly. Elyse retold their diary, this time in kill-me cute Dr. Seuss-like rhyme. Then Mahsa covered Prince’s “Kiss” while Elyse broke out into twirl. Mesmerizing and darling and put a bow on it already.

Put on some of that soft mood music and turn down the lights, it’s business time at Muni Diaries Live.

If you weren’t at the show Saturday night, you missed one of the hottest evenings we’ve had to date. We heard stories about making love and finding love on the bus; learned anatomical details about strangers we have never met; and all the other strange but wonderful things that can happen on public transit.
